Bitcoin is, as we know, the most popular cryptocurrency around. Its market cap and user base overshadow any altcoin. As so, Bitcoin is much more accepted than any other cryptocurrency, when it comes to gambling houses. While in the futures we expect to see new websites appear with altcoin betting, the vast majority of gambling websites only allow Bitcoin deposits.

Nevertheless, we want to teach you how to gamble in any website using altcoins. First, you may want to check out our gambling section to see which gambling websites allow altcoin gambling. Websites like Crypto-Games and SteemSports allow users to gamble with alternative cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Litecoin and Steem.

If none of these websites is to your liking and you really want to play on another website that only allows Bitcoin gambling, then follow the next steps

Step 3: You will be shown a Bitcoin address, save it or leave the site open

If you noticed, there’s a built-in option to bet with Altcoins. This is the shifty button, part of the ShapeShift services, which we will use to turn alternative cryptos into Bitcoin when depositing. However, we will ignore this option to allow you to learn how to do it on other websites that may not have a built-in converter

Step 2: Now, select the coins you want to deposit and receive by clicking the logos displayed. We'll choose Ether to Bitcoin

Step 3: Now choose between "Quick" or "Precise". The quick mode will convert the coins based on the amount you send. The precise mode, however, will allow you to input the number of coins you want to receive and give you an exact amount to deposit.
